There is a HUGE difference to me between actual and simulated.
Besides the visual clues (shadows moving etc.), you always have that
"security blanket" of knowing you can remove the device and see the
real horizon whenever you want.

I've been training mostly at night (to eliminate shadows), and I want
the most realistic (and most comfortable) device I can find.

I find my Jeppshades, while flying over dark ground or water at
night, just as good as actual. I have a bunch of fields in my area
with over water approaches.
